Abstract: 4487. Granier, H. M. April 6, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Alkaline hydrates ; copper salts; hydrochloric acid. -Relates to the electrolysis of an alkaline chloride to produce caustic alkali, and also to the production of copper sulphate, hydrochloric acid, &c. The anodes, of copper or a copper alloy, are immersed in a solution of the alkaline chloride saturated with cuprous chloride, and the cathodes, composed of a material not affected by the alkali, such as iron, are surrounded by a solution of the alkaline chloride only. The cuprous chloride formed at the anode is precipitated and carried off by the electrolyte, which is kept in circulation, and may be subsequently treated with sulphuric acid to produce copper sulphate and hydrochloric acid. Figs. 2 and 3 show a sectional plan and elevation of the electrolysing-vat. The vessel a, composed of cast iron coated with ebonite &c., is provided with guides b for holding frames c in position. These frames carry the diaphragms d forming chambers for the anodes, the cathodes being placed in the intervening spaces e. The liquid is supplied to the anode chambers through pipes g, and flows out through pipes h to a decanting-apparatus, where the cuprous chloride is deposited. The clear liquid, or a fresh solution of the alkaline chloride, is then returned into the vessel a through a pipe at the bottom, and after circulating between the frames c passes out through orifices k.

Title: Manufacture of Phenyl-methyl-amidochlorpyrazole
Filed: 1904-10-13
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 22,064. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. Nov. 11, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Phenyl-methyl-amido-chloro-pyrazole.-1-Phenyl- 3-methyl-4-benzene-azo-5-chloro-pyrazole, or the corresponding derivative of another arylazo-pyrazole, is transformed by acid reducing-agents into the above compound. An example is given in which 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4- benzeneazo-5-chloropyrazole, granulated tin, alcohol, concentrated hydrochloric acid, and a concentrated solution of stannous chloride are used. The reaction starts by itself and is completed by heating on the water bath. The tin is removed by sulphuretted hydrogen, and this solution is evaporated (preferably in vacuo) until the hydrochloride of the base crystallizes out. Excess of alkali liberates the base as an oil soluble in ether. On distillation of the ether, the base is left as an oil which solidifies into a crystalline mass. It crystallizes from petroleum-ether in tablets melting at 49‹ C., and is readily soluble in alcohol and ether. In another example, 1-phenyl-3-methyl- 4 o-tolueneazo-5-chloro-pyrazole, alcohol, and acetic acid (50 per cent. strength) are heated on the water bath while iron filings are added. The mixture is diluted with hot water, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The base is separated from the residue by sodium carbonate and dissolved in benzene. Any o-toluidine may be removed by steam distillation. In a third example, phenetol-azo-chloropyrazole is reduced by glacial acetic acid (90 per cent.) and zinc dust. The whole is heated on the water bath and the filtered decolorized solution is saturated with caustic soda and shaken with ether. The phenetidine is removed by steam distillation. The arylazo-pyrazole derivatives used are obtained by the action of phosphorus oxychloride on the corresponding pyrazolone derivatives. The new compound is transformed iuto phenyl-dimethyldimethylamido-pyrazolone by methylization and the action of alkali.
